Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The University of Edinburgh could become the most expensive in the UK after announcing increased fees for students from England, Wales and Ireland.
The university will charge £9,000 a year in tuition fees for students from the rest of the UK, making the total cost of a degree £36,000 for a four-year course – the standard length in Scotland.
Last month, the University of Aberdeen also set the rate at £9,000 a year, but with a fourth year free.
Edinburgh university said it would offer "the most generous bursary package within the UK for those on the lowest household incomes". The University and College Union said the changes mean "only the wealthiest will consider Edinburgh an option".
